Kohl's class put on a fantastic production of "re-written" nursery rhymes. Kohl was one of the pigs that caught the wolf blowing down the house and was making a stew out of him. It was pretty funny and Kohl really got into it and memorized all of his lines. Not to mention several of the other's lines in the play as well.
We went camping with some friends and tried out a new camping trailer I bought last month, in the back of the pic. It worked out really well and the kids had a blast. The stayed up late and roasted a whole bag of marshmallows. Good times!!!
Pets...Well we've made the plunge and become pet owners. Kohl and Arianna have been really wanting to care for somehting for a long time. But Irene's idea of a dog would fit in purse...and mine...well is a bit bigger. One day Kohl caught a cricket and made it his new pet. It had a name, container, Kohl's best attempt at food, and was probably only hours from dying since we spray on a regular basis. Not to be left out Arianna went out to find herself a pet and came across an Arizona Blister Beetle. They secreet a nasty juice on your skin that develops into these nasty blisters. Not exactly the ideal pet...
So I went out with them that evening and picked up two African Spur Thigh (Sulcata) Tortoises. The kids love them and so do we. They're used to the heat of the dessert and live off of weeds and grass. So very EASY to maintain. Interestingly enough, they also have very similar peronalities to their owners. Kohl's is a bit bigger and content to nap all day. Arianna's is constantly on the move, testing the limits, and trying to break out. Here they are...planning their first escape attempt.
